The United States Presidential Election of 1848 saw three candidates fight out for a place in the White House, one each from the Whig and Democratic parties, and one from the newly-formed Free Soil Party.

The Free Soil party was dissolved just six years later, having fought in this, and the next, Presidential election, in 1852.

How did abolitionism and anti-slavery shape American politics in the 1840s and 1850s?

During the 1840s, abolitionism entered mainstream American life. With the publication of anti-slavery newspapers like North Star and political activism especially amongst religious women in the northeast, abolishing slavery became an important topic in politics. Laws such as The Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 both dealt with issues of slavery/anti-slavery, and slavery/anti-slavery sentiments bred the new political party, the Republican party.
